None of us condone drinking and driving but my man Charlie nailed it. A cold beer on an old back road on a warm late afternoon with a band like this is a special treat.
Personally i hate the way alcohol makes me feel but i absolutely condone driving Kentucky backroads. I miss the drive from Murray to Princeton/Eddyville when i lived out there. I miss KY. Some of the most genuine and beautiful people on Earth are in Western KY.
@PaulPX I was in Ireland many years ago. Like 1997. My ship pulled into port at Dun Laoghaire. I took a train to a very small town in the country side. I can not remember it's name. My buddy and I walked into a pub midday in our uniforms. We walked in not knowing a soul but when we left I had dozens of new friends. We had such a great time. We danced with the girls and drank with the guys, all telling stories and buying drinks. Laughing the whole night. I remember them tapping bottle caps on bottles to the music. There was a song they played alot called " who the %$$^ is alice" Alice! Who the $%## is Alice! By the time I got back to the ship, my cover was gone, my medals were gone.. i came back with my pants beer stained tshirt and empty wallet. I can imagine hearing this song on the train and it would have the same effect
While I don't think I'd call it "folk rock", it's not too far removed from it. If you listened to 80s Album Rock radio back in the day (not just Top 40 that played rock), you would find that AOR didn't play THAT much metal, at least not until it took off as a fad (hair metal), because people demanded it. Nothing wrong with metal (IMHO), but it's just one style of rock. There's a whole lot more to 80s than what was popular in the mainstream, such as metal & new wave (of which this is also not TOO far removed from).
As far as 21st century rock music goes, you honestly won't here a better riff than this. It's roaring but emotional at the same time - so, so difficult to create something like this. An absolute masterpiece
This is a truly outstanding band and I am just finding out about them... I am 62 and I just haven't heard anything new that spoke to me with exception of Rival Sons and Greta Van Fleet in the last several years..... but this is a thinking band with cryptic lyrics... and that really sends me... I have listened to about 5 songs and like every one of them... I heard "Pain" playing as I went into the grocery store and shazamed it.... It is quite an unusual song to be used in a public playlist but I am glad it was playing....
I truly think that if the war on drugs were a band in the 70s they would have a much bigger impact on music. They have their own sound, they make great music, and they’re legitimately talented.
Imagine looking for "that one song" you heard but you couldn't remember any lyrics to it, nor how it really went but you knew it was a banger and you liked it and you just couldn't really ever recall it ... almost like it was part of a dream... And then you find it.... Yeah. That was me just now.
Come and see Where I witness everything On my knees Beat it down to get to my soul Against my will Anyone can tell it's you coming Baby don't mind Leave it on the line, leave it hanging on the rail Come and ride away It's easier to stick to the old Surrounded by the night Surrounded by the night and you don't give in But you abuse my faith Lose it every time, but I don't know where You're on my side again So ride the heat wherever it goes I'll be the one to care You're all I've got, wait Don't wanna let the dark night cover my soul Well, you can see it through the darkness coming my way Well, we won't get lost inside it all again Oh, my mind No one sees me, I'm out here waiting They don't mind that I'm here, I hear Throw the bad away, and your mind against it I would keep you here, but I can't Oh, I'll talk to you when I make my way back I don't see it over there where I come from, yeah Lost and you're hurt again The easy way to cover my sin Don't want another dark time to think to myself We won't get lost inside it all, you're on my way Well, I can see it in the darkness combing my mind Well, we can hear the voices war inside Yeah, and you won't get lost inside it all You're on my way
I was doing a job at a house in Walthamstow a couple of weeks ago and talking to the guy about his vinyl and our similar taste and in music. Lovely bloke. Told me to check this band out. Haven't stopped listening since. What a great band.
2018 September I was listening to this 24/7 while walking my dog on Friday evenings after dark/after I got off work. Preparing a wedding in the coming weeks. Imagining what the future would hold. 8 months later divorced. Now, 5 plus years later I am listening to this song again, feeling it deeply in my body on this Friday night after dark. Life will fuck you up but music will always be there for you. 🙏
Welcome, my friend! Enjoy yourself while discovering one song after another. In a way, I envy you because you're enjoying a kind of ecstacy while listening to a TWOD song for the first time. I did have that experience several times, but what I wouldn't give in order to experience the same kind of bliss again and again. Take care. Cheers!
I’ve recently discovered this band and I’m totally hooked. But most of the time I listen to them I’ve had a couple and maybe a little toke. Ahh…now I get it
You forget songs and tracks all the time. And then by surprise you run into one of those again. Played on Concertzender's Popart. Now I'm 67 and I heard so so so so much music since I was 10 years old. Well, but, this is one of the most most most beautiful songs I know. It has everything. It breaks my heart and wets my eyes. Again. p.s don't don't watch any video listening to this. Take it pure.
Cousin played this whilst in the cab on the way to the airport to go Dublin for my 21st. Everytime I hear this it reminds me of it :). Just thought I'd share it.. :)
Yeah, at first I thought that was going to be the point of the video. The others were all strained and anxious because they were focused on performing, but the dancing couple were having a good time because they were focused on being with each other. So even though the dancing couple wasn't objectively that good, they would win (and not even notice). I almost felt offended for them when they got rejected, lol.
Beautifully crafted music. Lyrically and melodically complex. Gorgeous structure with good verse variety. Eff'n Rock and Roll. Mark Knopfler would be proud...
So fine to be alive for many reasons. Music is one of the most stimulating reasons for sure. Finding this was as sweet as finding anything else from my youth. It's weirdly like something I've heard before but probably better. The 70s influences marinate this band.
There are so many artists, styles and songs within a single TWOD song that it's insanely mindblowing ...TWOD is probably the best thing that happened to music in the 21th century.
This song is beautiful, start to finish. Almost crying listening to this on the Orange Line on the way to work on New Year's morning. Thanks for this guys.
Zlatko C when you start to think this go on youtube liste your favourite bands and see what its recommending you....thats how it ALWAYS works with me. Otherwise stay open minded, that helped me a lot too :D
The feeling of this song reminds me of the good feelings i had growing up in the 80s as a child. Thank you because i had forgotten. Just brought tears to my eyes.
I saw them live in Berlin just a few weeks ago. Oh my, it was so good, the first concert in ages, the sound and light was perfect, and so was the band. totally lost it when Red Eyes played. thanks for that great experience.
This song (or maybe the video) gives joy and sadness at the same time. Seems like the music is bringing me down then the guitar comes and tries to lift me up
I don't know what is about this song, specifically, but there is an almost unidentifiable quality to it that makes me think of growing up. It's like a coming-of-age tale in sound.
Very few tracks like this made..It's an absolute masterclass in music and will stand the test of time easily...Considering the absolute rubbish people listen to nowadays and worse, they like aswell... Thank God these,Fontaines,Idles,PJ Harvey,and Nick Cave keep making quality,and keep us sane from the utter drivel that's masquerading as music nowadays..
I took my grand daughter to her first concert seeing these guys last spring at a all ages show.. I brought earplugs and all. she was 18 months and loved it

Riding backwoods in Kentucky drinking a cold one and jamming on this one. Sun is out, sky blue. Temp perfect. So beautiful
None of us condone drinking and driving but my man Charlie nailed it. A cold beer on an old back road on a warm late afternoon with a band like this is a special treat.
Personally i hate the way alcohol makes me feel but i absolutely condone driving Kentucky backroads. I miss the drive from Murray to Princeton/Eddyville when i lived out there. I miss KY. Some of the most genuine and beautiful people on Earth are in Western KY.
The tempo
Driving down a country road in Ireland with the grass growing up the middle of the road with this blasting has the same affect.
@PaulPX I was in Ireland many years ago. Like 1997. My ship pulled into port at Dun Laoghaire. I took a train to a very small town in the country side. I can not remember it's name.
My buddy and I walked into a pub midday in our uniforms. We walked in not knowing a soul but when we left I had dozens of new friends. We had such a great time. We danced with the girls and drank with the guys, all telling stories and buying drinks. Laughing the whole night. I remember them tapping bottle caps on bottles to the music. There was a song they played alot called " who the %$$^ is alice" Alice! Who the $%## is Alice!
By the time I got back to the ship, my cover was gone, my medals were gone.. i came back with my pants beer stained tshirt and empty wallet.
I can imagine hearing this song on the train and it would have the same effect
This whole album is absolutely killer.
Walker Nighbert
Awesome.
Huge joy division fan, glad to see another soul with good taste.
Agreed!
Absolutely agreed - adore this album. Love your profile pic. The one and only Ian Kevin Curtis (bit of a hero of mine).
the war on drugs have kept me alive 6/1/2021
I'm obsessed with this track.
Me too!
I listen to it atleast once a day
6 times here... I just can't get over how much this band sounds so 80's rock but its not a metal rock, similar to like a 80's folk rock.
While I don't think I'd call it "folk rock", it's not too far removed from it. If you listened to 80s Album Rock radio back in the day (not just Top 40 that played rock), you would find that AOR didn't play THAT much metal, at least not until it took off as a fad (hair metal), because people demanded it.

There's a whole lot more to 80s than what was popular in the mainstream, such as metal & new wave (of which this is also not TOO far removed from).
Erabus this is a hybrid of a song by Wire Train called I'll do you and burning for you by blue oyster cult
Happy 10 years to this beautiful, uplifting song and the fantastic album it's from.
What album
Lost In The Dream
This song will definitely be on the Top 100 chart 100 years from now (since 2023)
Their music definitely should be listened to while driving, or on a road trip. Can’t get enough.
Listened to this song driving through the Utah deserts. Tears of joy
Definitely 👌🏻
I listen to this AWESOME 😎 masterpiece all the time back home 🏡 in the Pacific NW💚💙
Listened for my whole, brief trucking career.
War on Drugs and "The Trip" by Still Corners are always the first two on a roadtrip playlist ua-cam.com/video/2m2Lr_HqCfg/v-deo.html
Just went through finding out i have cancer and 12 months of chemo to look foreward to and this song actually made me feel better
Gl Lulu you got this!
Screw cancer. Hope you’re well!!!
God bless you, Lulu. May you soon be fully healed of your cancer. 🙏🏻
I’m sorry for you darling!!! All the best
Bless your HEART doll ... Believe ✨
This is my easily in my top 5 songs of the 2010's. "Lost in the dream" is superb.
As far as 21st century rock music goes, you honestly won't here a better riff than this. It's roaring but emotional at the same time - so, so difficult to create something like this. An absolute masterpiece
Without a doubt
This song is like the ultimate mood reset button. Listening to it just once can literally make any day for me.
This is a truly outstanding band and I am just finding out about them... I am 62 and I just haven't heard anything new that spoke to me with exception of Rival Sons and Greta Van Fleet in the last several years..... but this is a thinking band with cryptic lyrics... and that really sends me... I have listened to about 5 songs and like every one of them... I heard "Pain" playing as I went into the grocery store and shazamed it....

Check out balthazar, thank me later.
welcome to tWOD's world
same here, Im 60, and just found this band. Heard of them, but couldn't put a song to the name. Awesome stuff!
check their song "thinking of a place", it's amazing
Also check out the Killers newest album, The Head and the Heart , The Strokes and Ryan Adams. Lots of good new music out there.
We are so lucky to be alive at the same time as this band. What an incredible reverb drenched soundtrack to hang our memories on!
Good grief.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I must listen to this band the next time I go on a road trip, I always imagine driving by a sunset while I listen to this!
MisterPringle omg I thought the same exact thing when I first heard the song
+MisterPringle I have driven at sunset to this song and recommend trying it.
BLUDGEEER Have you also listened to them during the sunrise, that would also be another great time!
Agreed! Will give it a go. I think any time between sunset and sunrise would also be an appropriate time to play this song. Especially while driving.
+MisterPringle ikr?? Do you have any recommendations for road trip songs??
I truly think that if the war on drugs were a band in the 70s they would have a much bigger impact on music. They have their own sound, they make great music, and they’re legitimately talented.
Any good Artist can be successful in any era
If by their own sound you mean a hybrid of Dylan, Dire Straits and Tom Petty - you are correct!
@@LWPMediaWorksand a sprinkle of Fleetwood Mac...
Five years now and still stuck on this song.
Fantastic song to travel the world. YEAH!
Imagine looking for "that one song" you heard but you couldn't remember any lyrics to it, nor how it really went but you knew it was a banger and you liked it and you just couldn't really ever recall it ... almost like it was part of a dream...
And then you find it....
Yeah. That was me just now.
bruckers64
Awesome.
Ahhh! Lucky you. I bet you've played it a ton.
best feeling ever
I was just like you, remembered the song, the tune, the melodies, harmonies, and hooks, and...
Wait for it...
I Finded It!!!!
@@keiththorpe9571 isn't that just splendid?!
Come and see
Where I witness everything
On my knees
Beat it down to get to my soul
Against my will
Anyone can tell it's you coming
Baby don't mind
Leave it on the line, leave it hanging on the rail
Come and ride away
It's easier to stick to the old
Surrounded by the night
Surrounded by the night and you don't give in
But you abuse my faith
Lose it every time, but I don't know where
You're on my side again
So ride the heat wherever it goes
I'll be the one to care
You're all I've got, wait
Don't wanna let the dark night cover my soul
Well, you can see it through the darkness coming my way
Well, we won't get lost inside it all again
Oh, my mind
No one sees me, I'm out here waiting
They don't mind that I'm here, I hear
Throw the bad away, and your mind against it
I would keep you here, but I can't
Oh, I'll talk to you when I make my way back
I don't see it over there where I come from, yeah
Lost and you're hurt again
The easy way to cover my sin
Don't want another dark time to think to myself
We won't get lost inside it all, you're on my way
Well, I can see it in the darkness combing my mind
Well, we can hear the voices war inside
Yeah, and you won't get lost inside it all
You're on my way
Thank you
Thank you
The masterpiece album of the decade.
Totally agree ❤
The only album from the same decade that I think comes close to it is Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter. Either way, both albums are out of this world.
Probably my favorite song of all time
One of those songs that make you contemplate on life and your surroundings
I was doing a job at a house in Walthamstow a couple of weeks ago and talking to the guy about his vinyl and our similar taste and in music. Lovely bloke. Told me to check this band out. Haven't stopped listening since. What a great band.

Amen.
A dog will always be your best friend mate 💘
Amen
I just found this band and damn this is music that I wish I had in my life 10 years ago. Well as they say better late than never. Awesomeness!
They will never ever have a hit as good as Red Eyes!
This song is tubular man!
I discovered this band recently, and I LOVE them. Their music stirs your body, and yet calms your soul. Incredible! 💎
Welcome, my friend!
Enjoy yourself while discovering one song after another.
In a way, I envy you because you're enjoying a kind of ecstacy while listening to a TWOD song for the first time.
I did have that experience several times, but what I wouldn't give in order to experience the same kind of bliss again and again.

Music holds a special power… don’t ever forget that
I’ve recently discovered this band and I’m totally hooked.
But most of the time I listen to them I’ve had a couple and maybe a little toke.
Ahh…now I get it
I still haven't found a name of the place these guys take me and how it reminds me that I'm actually alive plus life is still worth living.......
When Waterboys meets Neil Young meets Bruce Springsteen. Every song is a masterpiece of delicacy
I love The Waterboys!!
Soy de Perú 🇵🇪 soy fan de bruce Springsteen. Además también me encanta esta banda saludos a todos
That little guitar shredder is rad.
this song is absolutely amazing!
The C.I.A. is in charge of the drug bussiness in Mexico,not the Cartels.
You forget songs and tracks all the time. And then by surprise you run into one of those again. Played on Concertzender's Popart. Now I'm 67 and I heard so so so so much music since I was 10 years old. Well, but, this is one of the most most most beautiful songs I know. It has everything. It breaks my heart and wets my eyes.

Probably the best song ever written. Sounds so beautiful that you can forget about all the troubles in this world!!! Superb song 😊.
Same to me 🙏
try gerry_cinnamon-sometimes
Quite similar. nothing super special but both nice.
Apart from hey moon the John maus version..
There is definitely something in certain combinations of sounds that create a nostalgic mood on people. It doesn’t matter if the song is recent.
Correct!!!
I could never get tired of this song. Thanks FH2 for introducing me to The War on Drugs!
Finally someone from FH2
Cousin played this whilst in the cab on the way to the airport to go Dublin for my 21st. Everytime I hear this it reminds me of it :). Just thought I'd share it.. :)
Mumford and Dragons I'm from dublin 😃
You're thinking of a place then ;). Btw mumford and sons is my fav band of all time. The war on drugs comes a close second
@@rishikeshwagh lol how'd your fund this comment?! Ye it's made up of them and Imagine Dragons.
Hey me from ten years in the future. How are you? Is this still One of out favorites songs?
One of the best bands I've seen! Royal Albert Hall! YOU ROCK, GUYS! Love you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤
This is the real deal. Love it: happy, sad, confused and clear. What a ride! I adore artists that can touch the human nerve like this.
More please...
This is one of those songs that awakens an extreme sense of nostalgia in me..
I'm geeking over Lost in the Dream album this evening! The War On Drugs is so amazing. It's impeccable.
Give the album a listen beginning to end.
[+]
Tasha Cottam best band of the last decade easy!
Gotta get A Deeper Understanding of what it’s like to be Lost In The Dream :)
God, how I love this song and this album
don't know why, but i feel nostalgic listening to this song
Lauren M Me too, just couldn't find the words to use....
Lauren M so much
Lauren M They've got a pretty classic sound
Lauren M perhaps b/c their sound is similar to older greats like Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits, Don Henley, and Bob Dylan... I LIKE "EM! A WHOLE LOT!!!
what does that word mean ??,
I love the old dancing couple in this video. They look like they are genuinely having fun.
Yeah, at first I thought that was going to be the point of the video. The others were all strained and anxious because they were focused on performing, but the dancing couple were having a good time because they were focused on being with each other. So even though the dancing couple wasn't objectively that good, they would win (and not even notice). I almost felt offended for them when they got rejected, lol.

Quite simply, one of the best bands on earth today. ❤ It's a pity more people don't have the same ears as everyone here 😊
Written some absolute all time gems this band!
So fine to be alive for many reasons. Music is one of the most stimulating reasons for sure. Finding this was as sweet as finding anything else from my youth. It's weirdly like something I've heard before but probably better. The 70s influences marinate this band.
one of the best alternative rock songs of all time. Top 10
This song is the best thing I have heard in a long time. It lifts me and allows me to let things go with ease. Beautiful ❤️
Music holds a special power don’t ever forget that
I keep coming back to this bad boi.
Another timeless and beautiful song from the most underrated rock band in the history of the universe
There are so many artists, styles and songs within a single TWOD song that it's insanely mindblowing ...TWOD is probably the best thing that happened to music in the 21th century.
This heavily makes me think of Mark Knopfler and Big Country.
I actually feel a Moody Blues influence in some of their songs, from back when the Moodies were good.
Greatest non-mainstream (although still kinda technically mainstream) band in probably at least the last 20 years.
I love absolutely every song this band plays.
871 people don't know good song writing. This is a gem.
This song is beautiful, start to finish. Almost crying listening to this on the Orange Line on the way to work on New Year's morning. Thanks for this guys.
When you start to thing there is no more good music, you find this! Great song!
Zlatko C when you start to think this go on youtube liste your favourite bands and see what its recommending you....thats how it ALWAYS works with me. Otherwise stay open minded, that helped me a lot too :D
Best kept secret - Neko Case
Don't be silly , there's an absolute endless of supply of good music out there
This sound makes me long for life substance. Like the feeling you get after a genuine conversation with a complete stranger.
What a great band! Blasting this on the highway on the way home from work a friday afternoon.
When this song kicks in … it’s heaven ❤
this song reminds me of that day in portofino with my ex girlfriend...i miss you...i hope you read this message one day and you will remember me....
The feeling of this song reminds me of the good feelings i had growing up in the 80s as a child. Thank you because i had forgotten. Just brought tears to my eyes.
thank you dale steyn ... u r a LEGEND
Thanks to ESPN actually
this band is such a good presence in music these days
Thank you dale steyn!

I saw them live in Berlin just a few weeks ago. Oh my, it was so good, the first concert in ages, the sound and light was perfect, and so was the band. totally lost it when Red Eyes played. thanks for that great experience.
3:14 It's so amazing to see how far Ed Sheeran has come in these past 10 years
The video is sublime too...
Absolute banger
This song (or maybe the video) gives joy and sadness at the same time.
Seems like the music is bringing me down then the guitar comes and tries to lift me up
This song brings about feeling that are bittersweet but I love it! Great song, great band!
This used to play every morning on my way to portland city at 3am. Every. Single. Morning to get to work.
Never new the song.
Really glad i found it
And I JUST REFOUND IT BOYS
This helped me recover
Thanks for giving this clown a break. Life aint funny, so we may as well be.
Peace yall.
What a song!!! Definitely one of the best songs EVER!

Getting a mad 80's vibe. I really dig it :)
it is indeed because of that gated reverb
This song lets me escape from my past and be strong for the future!
It never gets old
Love this, also sounds like the killers new stuff from imploding the mirage
This band is what I’ve been missing in my life.🙏💕
One of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Love it!!!!

I can't believe this came out over a year ago. It feels like yesterday. I guess this is the timelessness of being out of school.
If there’s ever a song I would listen to on repeat, this is it.
Again and again
Just heard this song... can't stop listening to it. Fantastic!
